Shelter volunteer, Barbara Lopez chats with Wixe radio personality and Pound Puppies Dog Show emcee, Britt Pope about Ricky. Like the other puppies in the show, Ricky was part of an unplanned litter that wound up at the Union County Animal Shelter this spring. The necessity of spaying and neutering pets to decrease Union County's pet overpopulation problem was stressed throughout the event. Donations were accepted and tickets to a December quilt raffle were sold to benefit the opening of an on site spay/neuter clinic at the Union County Animal Shelter in the near future.
